Frailty Team

Our Frailty Team will be working collaboratively within the community providing comprehensive personalised care to residents of care homes and nursing homes with an aspiration that this will develop into proving this service for residents still living at home. The aim or the service is to move away from traditional reactive models of care to a service providing proactive management plans for residents with complex care needs.
